Addendum

But I didn’t mention what I should have talked about, that I only got a yard of the blue silk and then decided to use that for the binding as well as the one side of the front and cut the binding and found that I could not work with that narrow a piece and went back to the store and they were all out but the proprietor liked it too and had made a shirt out of it and had some scraps left and brought them back to the store and gave them to me whereupon I could finish the binding. hahhahahaha and I never once despaired.
